Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to the field of medical detection technology, and more particularly, to a wearable device, system and method for digital cardiopulmonary function exercise testing.
  • Cardiovascular disease is the first killer for people. 20% of people in Europe and America have cardiovascular disease, and 290 million people in China have cardiovascular disease. Prevention, diagnosis and rehabilitation of cardiovascular disease are heavily dependent on assessment of cardiovascular system function.
  • a function of a cardiopulmonary circulatory system is to ensure normal operations of various activities of a human body. An exercise can only be completed with a closely coordinated operation among visceral organs in the cardiopulmonary circulatory system.
  • Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPX) is a scientific tool for assessing cardiopulmonary functions during an exercise. The CPX is to assess reaction of visceral organs such as heart, lung or the like to the exercise by monitoring oxygen uptake (VO2), carbon dioxide output (VCO2), Heart Rate (HR), voluntary ventilation (VE) or the like of an organism in an exercise state.
  • the CPX has noninvasive and quantitative features, which are of great value for diagnosis and prognosis of cardiopulmonary disease.
  • a physiological mechanism of the cardiopulmonary circulatory system and the principle of the CPX measurement method are relatively complex, which are not easily understood by clinical doctors and nurses. Quite a few medical staff, no matter whether in the cardiovascular section or in the pulmonary section, has insufficient knowledge on both the CPX usage and interpretation of its measurements thereof.
  • measurement parameters of the CPX are quantitative, testees are required to achieve an exercise limit. As patients often cannot achieve the exercise limit or an operator cannot accurately determine the exercise limit, the measurement results may loss their effects as supposed.
  • ECG exercise test which is also called ECG exercise load test, is a method for observing ECG changes by increasing a cardiac load through a certain amount of exercise, so as to implement clinical assessment on the known or suspected cardiovascular disease, especially coronary atherosclerotic cardiac disease (CHD).
  • ECG ECGgram
  • An ECGgram (ECG) exercise test is a method for observing ECG changes by increasing a cardiac load through a certain amount of exercise, so as to implement clinical assessment on the known or suspected cardiovascular disease, especially coronary atherosclerotic cardiac disease (CHD).
  • Analysis content for such method comprises exercise capabilities, clinical symptoms, haemodynamics and ECG changes. The content is analyzed and determined qualitatively by doctors, and does not provide quantitative indices.

The longer the walking distance is, the larger the indicated exercise tolerance is, and the better the cardiac function is.
  • the 6 minutes walking test is simple, it is a full manual operation, needs a place, has simplex measurement parameters, and largely depends on personal willingness.

  • RHR Resting Heart Rate
  • CL Chronotropic Limit
  • CR Chronotropic Rate
  • HRE Heartrate Recovery after Exercise
  • HR stage and MET stage represent a heart rate and an exercise metabolic equivalent of the testee at a certain time during the test respectively, and HR rest represents a heart rate of the testee during resting.
  • HR max and HR rest represent a maximum heart rate and a Resting Heart Rate (RHR) respectively
  • HR PredM represents a predicted value of the maximum heart rate
  • the HRE is defined as a difference between a maximum exercise heart rate and a heart rate 1 minute after the exercise is stopped, which represents a speed at which the heart rate recovers to the RHR after the exercise is stopped.
  • the handhold electronic device comprises a man-machine interaction module configured to alert the testee of start or stop of the exercise or acceleration or deceleration of the exercise in a voice or image manner, and display information, an exercise mode, and an ECG signal of the testee in real time, and configured with an emergency button for use by the testee when feeling uncomfortable.
